Here is an interesting section of an article from Slate.com by a
mr. chadwick martin. it might shed some light on the
discussion.

The purgatory scenes are a symptom of what, in retrospect, was
Lost's greatest flaw. It refused to follow its own advice and let
dead be dead. In the early seasons, Lost prided itself on its
willingness to kill off any character it wanted. This, we were
told, was proof that on the island the stakes were high. But then
Lost's writers fell in love with their characters, and people
started wearing bulletproof vests, recovering from harpoons to the
heart, and returning as Demon Spawn. By granting the characters'
souls eternal life, in purgatory or elsewhere, the writers
diminished our interest in their actual lives—t…

over the course of the previous few hours i've been attempting
to come to terms with the death of LOST. i use the word
death because like the way the writers depicted our losties
afterlife (or inlimbo), the end of the television series itself is
something i cannot say is very meaningful.

will LOST's series finale become synonymous with the words;
'loose-ends' 'unfulfilled potential' 'let down' or even 'it kinda
reminds me of battlestar galactica'? i suppose it's open to

television, i cannot help but question my faith in the series after
witnessing th…

at least on the MiB's part, he seems to have promised three of
his followers something in return for their loyalty to him. for
Sayid, Nadia. for Sawyer, getting off the island. for Claire,
Arron. i wonder if there is any correlation between the
flash-sideways and the fulfillment of these offers. it's
doubtful.

this theory isn't much of a prediction but more of a
reevaluation of events that have taken place since season two.

sometime in the island's distant past the MiB and Jacob have a
heated conversation regarding loopholes and people coming to the
island. "they come. they fight. they destroy. they corrupt. it
always ends the same." and Jacob says in response, "it only ends
once. anything that happens before that is just progress."

flash-forward to the crash of oceanic flight 815.

the smoke monster, who i am assuming to be the the MiB, has a
couple encounters with Mr. Eko. the first being in season two, when
we witness the monster almost examining Mr. Eko, it flashes moments
from Eko's past. I believe Smokey was determining whether or not
Eko was …
